Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together snugly

Ensure all parts are clean and free of excess plastic sprue. Check that you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instructions. Minor adjustments with a hobby knife or fine sandpaper may be necessary.

Decals are not adhering properly

Apply decals to a smooth, glossy surface for best adhesion. Use decal setting solutions to help the decals conform to surface details and to improve their bond. Ensure the decal is fully submerged in water before application.

Paint finish is uneven or streaky

Ensure paints are thoroughly mixed before application. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Consider using an airbrush for a smoother finish or practice brush techniques on scrap plastic.
